Re: Greetings to All! Reply #26 – May 12, 2016, 01:06:42 pm Great job! This is very nice to use, compared to most of the other forum software out there, and it's a HUGE improvement over the Yahoo interface.
Re: Greetings to All! Reply #27 – May 12, 2016, 03:47:41 pm Oh my. The difference is incredible. I had struggled with Yahoo for many years and almost gave up.This will make the forum so much better in many ways.Thanks to all for the hard work behind the curtain.Jota

Re: Greetings to All! Reply #29 – May 12, 2016, 06:41:06 pm It feels great to be back in the fold. After being locked out by AOL & Yahoo, I was sorely missing the group as I replied via email. Thanks to all of you for making this transition a success. I'm looking forward to getting back into the mix. You have done a wonderful job in making this happen.Kent

Re: Greetings to All! Reply #32 – May 12, 2016, 09:25:08 pm Works great from an iPhone. Which is how I read most of the time now. Had some trouble getting into the yahoo group for instructions. Seems to kick you out where it hadn't before. That said the glitch was how yahoo registered my ID/email. Getting in here was very easy. Thanks again for all the hard work!!! 1 Likes
Re: Greetings to All! Reply #33 – May 13, 2016, 09:59:15 am I would encourage everyone to put in an avatar! Speaking only for myself, I think it makes it much easier to recognize posters instead of trying to remember the name under the avatar.
Re: Greetings to All! Reply #34 – May 13, 2016, 12:44:54 pm Thanks to the team. Quick look is very encouraging!

It costs nothing to members and doesn't affect item pricing. From experience with Foreforums, it nets out very close to our personal out of pocket costs for a forum's website; if there's an excess it's maybe enough to buy a latte and a scone at the end of the year We do ask members to be considerate and not post their own affiliate links (including via services like Bitly) here as it explicitly takes funding away from the forum.Michelle 1 Likes
Re: Greetings to All! Reply #42 – May 15, 2016, 07:41:57 pm MichelleGood that you brought this up, members should be aware of how the forum is funded and what they can do to contribute.I use a lot of links for tools and parts and will make an effort to pick Amazon links, when given a choice.Larry 2 Likes
